                great success. From there, Disney went on to create (создавая) hundreds of
                movies, as well as Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida.
                Walt Disney’s is a great motivational success story. It’s about a man who had
                a dream and put his entire effort in to making it happen. Whenever there were
                setbacks  (неудачи),  Disney  kept  going  (продолжал)  to  make  his  dream
                come alive (работать над тем, чтобы воплотить мечты в жизнь).

                to keep your dream in your sights (не переставать думать о своих мечтах)
                and to go after it (преследовать свои цели) with all of your faith, trust, belief
                and joy. If you can dream it, you can achieve (достичь) it.
